Over 150 miles and a third of a tank

That was cruising along at 66 mph though Nottingham is quite a bit further north than Watford, that's for sure

[YZ250]

Only time I've seen 30mpg was travelling to Gatwick at a steady 65mph for most of the journey. 
On the early hours return journey I had no passengers but the mpg reduced to 18mpg for some strange reason.

Must have had a head wind

Ahh, that'll be why then.

Mine should be better on a run having a proper gearbox and all but it's currently running cold with a stuck thermostat  75° on the gauge

Does the economy no favours at all

That will be ok for a few more years

I've seen low 30mpg . . .33/34 IIRC in my car, steady 75 on an empty motor way one Sun morning.

[tunnie]

Steady cruise home one day in the 3.2:

[05omegav6]

Not to shabby Tunnie especially for the wrong gearbox

[pirate]

since service with new exhaust im getting 30.9 regular and im not hanging about,sorry officer.

I managed 30mpg coming back from Taffland, along M4/A34 a couple of years back in the 3.2 Elite. 4 adults, full luggage, no pikey box. Apart from a moment of frustration on the A34, it was a constant 80mph all the way.

The superior 3.0l in my MV6 once managed 32.5mpg over a 2 week holiday to Montpellier. That included some very high speed runs, and poncing about around the area.

[VXL V6]

You've all got display units that have been wrongly configured by TB 

[TheBoy]

My last tank of LPG in the 3.2 Elite, 18.10mpg

Last tank of LPG in th 3.0 MV6, of which I only drove for a third of a tank, 21.26mpg

[05omegav6]

Ah the feminine touch

[BazaJT]

None too sure at present what my Elite will do on a proper run,but will find out in a couple of weeks when we have a drive from Scunny to Farnham for a christening.It'll be interesting to compare it to what the XJ does on same trip.

That's not special if the EML isn't on then you either have a blown bulb or something is seriously amiss with your car.

Decent fuel and a king good thrashing should sort it, if not you really aren't trying

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Was it via silverstone

[05omegav6]

Now 28.0mpg over 330 miles range still says 110 to go...

We'll see

Was a bit faster coming back, but all done on that Shell V power nitro stuff

Going slowly on the most part as well but I'd only just reset the computer after putting new battery in it..

[adey2]

You are simply not trying hard enough.

[05omegav6]

Orange light came on on the way home, so stopped to put some more fuel in.

385 miles, 28.1 mpg tank average

Pretty good that, mostly motorway driving ?

I'm hoping I've done that kind of mpg, but in gas in the 2.2

Mostly yes, but perhaps a third was dual/single carriageway with some town

[Keith ABS]

  I get an average of 33/34 mpg in my 2.5 TD estate with auto box and standard chip

EML is on, shining nice and bright.  Codes prove lambda's not being happy with the readings.

Give me a 3.0 anyday

To be fair though, this thing really does shift (comparable to my 3.5 V8 BMW (Which is lighter))

When in that mode MPG is way way worse than 11.7mpg more like inbertween 1 - 5 mpg
